r96sk7 Oct 6, 2023A solid drama flick, one that feels like it wants to be some sort of psychological thriller in how it's shot and heard on occasion. Mads Mikkelsen and Stine Stengade are a good lead pair. The story is more focused on Mikkelsen's Christoffer than Stengade's Maja, though the latter still has a part to play. It's all well told and well paced and features decent music. I wouldn't note it as anything overly noteworthy, though 'Prague' is very much watchable.
